      Chapter One

      Foolish women leaving gifts of jewelry at the feet of the plaster goddess. Leila Darling looked up and into the eyes of the life-size statue set on a waist-high pedestal. Surprised the jewelry hadn’t been stolen since the statue sat in the hotel lobby, she shook her head. The silly women are probably praying for a man, or for a better relationship with a man.

      The statue had pearl-tipped silver wires radiating from the center of its back making it look as if it were in the middle of a snow storm. Or, perhaps it was the snow storm. And the earrings? Nude men dangled by rope-lashed wrists from the goddess's earlobes. Creepy. Leila touched the emerald pendant hanging from her neck on a gold chain and resting in the valley between her breasts, then let her gaze travel down the colorful, gilt-trimmed statue to the gemstones scattered on the pedestal.

      Instead of wasting their jewels and money, they should ask me about relationships. I am, after all, a psychiatrist. I'd tell them the truth—forget it. Don't mess up your mind about a man. All men suck, especially the ones I find.

      Well, goddess, I'm not going to ask you for a favor. There's no way you, me, or anyone else could fix my lonely, loveless life. And haven't I suffered enough yearning for my soul mate? Hoping I'll find him around the next corner, believing the current guy or the next guy is him, and always being disappointed, she whispered, took a deep breath and shook her head, unwilling to shed more tears.

      Leila's gaze was drawn to the carvings edging the pedestal. No, can't be. She bent down to take a better look. It is. The carvings showed people in sexual positions. The sight of a couple making love like two dogs disgusted her. And that? Only a couple of contortionists could
